Why does Acupuncture work?

• Acupuncture points are regions where there is a
  large quantity of nerve endings, so every
  stimulation created in these regions will be sent
  to our brain, which will process the information
  and provide answers to the organ (s) or glandule
  (s) that are in disequilibrium. Similarly, these
  answers can relieve our pain, strengthen or relax
  muscles, improve our blood circulation, etc.

7

Facial Rejuvenation
11
Facial RejuvenationA non-surgical lifting

• It is a virtually pain-free, entirely natural
  process, which mobilizes and directs one's own
  internal resources, the body's "qi", to
  rejuvenate the face and revitalize the whole
  body. The treatment improves the texture and
  appearance of wrinkles by stimulating collagen
  production.

12
Facial Rejuvenation

• No foreign substances are used. Specific points
  on the body and face are chosen according to each
  person's needs. Hair-fine needles are placed to
  stimulate and reinvigorate the body's energy
  flow.

13
Facial Rejuvenation

• The treatment is followed by a Chinese facial
  massage, that rejuvenates the face by
  invigorating blood and lymph flow to the skin,
  making the face feel smooth, vibrant and
  luminous.

14
Cellulite
15
Cellulite
16
Cellulite

• Cellulite is the term for deposits of
  subcutaneous fat and fibrous tissue. Though diet
  and exercise can work to diminish body fat,
  cellulite frequently still persists, as the fat
  deposits are not as accessible by the bodys
  metabolism. This is due to a few different
  factors.
• Often, cellulite is found on areas with
  decreased circulation of blood and lymph,
  resulting in the increase of fat in the cells .
  A hormonal disequilibrium may be present.

17
Cellulite

• Electro-acupuncture works directly at the level
  of the problem (the subcutaneous level) corrects
  excess water retention and activates local blood
  circulation, facilitating the elimination of
  toxins and fat. The muscle contractions improve
  the flaccid muscles.
• The treatment is followed by a Chinese local
  massage, that improves the results.

18
Cellulite

• Cellulite Acupuncture treatments are tailored
  specifically for each individual, treating the
  root of the problem. This is why Cellulite
  Acupuncture is so effective at reducing and
  eliminating unsightly cellulite. The result is
  supple, firmer and smoother looking skin. Other
  benefits include
• helps to eliminate orange peel appearance of the
  skin
• smoothes, firms and tightens the skin
• targets problem areas of the hips, buttocks and
  thighs
• promotes elimination of fat and cellulite
• prevents further accumulation of fat deposits
• increases circulation to improve texture and
  muscle tone
• provides re-oxygenation of the skin
• detoxifies tissues
• Activates fluid circulation.

19
Weight Loss
20
Weight Loss

• Acupuncture for Weight Loss is a program
  developed for each individual, that involves
  losing weight and maintaining the weight loss
  through creating a balance of the body.
  Acupuncture serves as an adjunct therapy to a
  weight loss program that also includes diet,
  exercise, and stress reduction techniques.
• Acupuncture does not serve as a magic bullet in
  the treatment of weight control. However,
  acupuncture is effective in making it easier to
  lose and maintain weight loss.

21
Weight Loss

• The insertion of acupuncture needles in
  specific points has been known to release
  endorphins and regulate hormones. The increase of
  endorphins can subside overeating due to
  emotional stress, frustration and anxiety it
  also affects the hormonal and digestive systems,
  thereby regulating and rebalancing the organ
  systems that affect a slow metabolism and low
  energy.
• Acupuncture has also been known to help curb
  the appetite, depress cravings, rid excess water,
  and stimulate the hormone system to burn off
  extra calories.

22
Acne
23
Acne

• Acne is a disorder of the sebaceous glands of
  hair follicles. Many factors are responsible for
  the development of acne including hormones,
  blockage of the pores, sebum secretion and
  bacterial infection.
• According to Chinese medicine, when problems
  manifest on the skin, it is a signal that a
  deeper imbalance is going on somewhere in the
  body.

24
Acne

• Acupuncture treatments are directed at
  adjusting the underlying imbalance. Once this
  internal problem is diagnosed and resolved, your
  skin problem will be eliminated.

25
Anxiety, Stress and Depression

• Acupuncture, combined with Shiatsu can be very
  effective alternative to treat depression,
  anxiety, stress-induced fatigue and emotions
  swings resulting in long-term benefits. 
• Acupuncture treats the root cause of the
  disease-the internal imbalance caused by the
  exposure to external stress.  Such stress, if not
  treated, can cause energy "blockage" or changes
  of the neurotransmitters of the brain, resulting
  in symptoms such as anxiety, poor sleep, fatigue,
  and eventually, depression. 

26
Anxiety, Stress and Depression

• When patients with depression receive
  acupuncture, they generally experience
  improvement in the reduction of anxiety,
  insomnia, as well as more energy, and over all
  well-being. 
• Best of all there is no side effect from
  acupuncture treatments.  Added to these benefits,
  once patients get well, they will remain well
  even when they finish the treatment. It happens
  because we treat the cause of the imbalance, so
  our body will be able to handle daily stress
  better.   

27
Quit Smoking

• Acupuncture helps to eliminate the mental and
  physical symptoms of withdrawal, due to its
  highly effectiveness in calming, and relaxing the
  mind, enhancing the ability to concentrate,
  minimizing anxiety and alleviating feelings of
  depression. In addition, acupuncture successfully
  suppresses appetite and diminishes food cravings.
• Modern science has confirmed that smokers
  develop higher levels of nicotine-induced
  endorphins, and acupuncture stimulates the
  nervous system naturally to regulate the amount
  of endorphins in the body and helps clear away
  nicotine buildup.

28
Pain Relieve

• The placement of acupuncture needles at
  specific pain points releases endorphins and
  opioids, the bodys natural painkillers, and
  perhaps immune system cells as well as
  neurotransmitters and neurohormones in the brain.
  Research has shown that glucose and other
  bloodstream chemicals become elevated after
  acupuncture.

29
Pain Relieve

• Acupuncture has been used with success in
  treating conditions such as Fibromyalgia (a
  chronic pain condition affecting muscles and
  connective tissues), chronic headaches, neck pain
  from whiplash, knee and hip pain from arthritis,
  chronic abdominal pain, headaches, menstrual
  cramps, tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, lower back
  pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.

30

Shiatsu Therapy

• Shiatsu is a hands-on therapy that uses the
  principles of anatomy and physiology. The thumbs,
  palms, and fingers are used to apply pressure and
  massage designated areas of the body. These areas
  are called Meridian Shiatsu, and they have
  similar location if compared with the Acupuncture
  Meridian.
• This method is very relaxing, and the pressure
  applied is done according to each persons
  sensitivity.

35
Shiatsu Therapy

• Shiatsu therapy promotes the prevention and
  recovery of illnesses by stimulating the immune
  system and natural healing power that people
  already possess. Treating the body as a whole
  helps to restore the physical functions of the
  nervous system, circulatory system, bone
  structure, muscles, and internal secretion and
  stimulates its natural ability to heal illness.
